FALLG i v e a w a y

I will be giving away ONE 13" Dresden Plate Charger (the napkin & napkin ring will not be included). Here are a few other ideas for how you could use the Plate Charger, add as a table accent under your Thanksgiving Centerpiece or place it under a lamp on your side table. You could also place it under some of your favorite collectibles on an entry table or bookshelf.

Now for the RULES:

This giveaway format continues to work well for me so I'm going to use it again. Here's my explanation. . . Look at the list of requirements below and decide how many requirements you want to do, then add up the points after you've done them, and then email me the information below to enter this Giveaway.

If you follow the format below I will also give you ONE extra point. It will definitely make it easier for me to track all of your entries. Thank YOU!!!

The giveaway will END on Sunday, October 18th at Midnight.I will then pick a WINNER on Monday, October 19th.

A Note from ME:I appreciate everyone that's entered my giveaways in the past and for wanting to enter this giveaway too. I really enjoy doing these kinds of things for all of you and I spend a lot of my time doing it. I personally make each of the projects that I give away and really wish that I could make something for everyone but that's why I do these kinds of tutorials, so I can share my talents with each of YOU, my dear blogging friends!!!

Good Luck Everyone!!!

Update 10/11 @ 9:11am-Remember to use the printer friendly button at the bottom of the MBS post. When you click on the button it will download a pdf file to your computer for you to print the the tutorial. I know, it's 15 pages, sorry! I know it's a long one because of all the pictures but it would use even more paper if you tried to print it any other way. Thanks!

Update 10/11 @11:53am: I was checking the ruler links on MBS to make sure they were working for you and I have some good news for those interested in buying the ruler! The 18 degree Fan Ruler is on SALE right now for 30% off at Connecting Threads. Yeah!!!

This is so pretty Kim! It sounds like we bloggers are being a bit demanding... I so appreciate what you share with us! You fit a lot more in than I do - it's a lot of hard work! Now off to MBS!Hugs - Shari

Unbelievable. Thank you so much for the tutorial, and the chance to win a Bitty Bits and Pieces original is just an added bonus. Seriously, you are so generous, I appreciate it more than I can say. You're wonderful, thanks again.

This is SO pretty. I will be working to fulfill the giveaway guidelines this week and will let you know when I've completed them! Moda is lucky to have talent such as yours at their disposal (and so are we)!!!

Kim 16 points for me. I cannot believe how beautiful this is. YOu just added another project to my plate. YOu have no idea how I have looked for thanksgiving mats for my daughter and now I can make her a set. I've got to dash, I will be busyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy today.God bless your talent.

I've already full-filled most of your requirements just need to run back to my blog and post it for all to see and mess up my chances of winning! LOLI have to tell you..this is one of the BEST Moda tutorials I've seen. Very impressed!!!

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this tutorial--the projects are just beautiful! I really appreciate the detailed photos and instructions for the dresden plates, somehow, I have never quite understood their construction until seeing your explanation. I can't wait to give them a try!

Just got back from reading through the tutorials. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to make these beautiful projects. Just beautiful. I've got my email ready! Thanks again!Suzannejustanotherhangup.blogspot.com

Kim, this is beautiful and thank you so much for the tutorial that you made, I know it's a lot of work to make these up. I use to have a table mat like this thirty some years ago that was made out of polyester fabric, I know gross, but my best friend had made it for me and I loved it back than. Thanks for the giveaway.

Wow!! What a wonderful giveaway. You have given us such detailed instructions and great photos on the tutorial. I would be proud to own something you have made! Your work is gorgeous! Thank you for all the extra tips on the rulers.

What a wonderful project! I would love to win the giveaway but am going to make some of these regardless. I am off now to read the instructions now so I can start gathering fabrics to start. Like I needed a new project to begin...lol. See how dangerous blogging is! Waving hello to you from Holland...

I just have to tell you how excited I am to make this. I have collected most of my supplies and can't wait for it to arrive so I can start on this project. I am having a hard time finding the felted wool. Any suggestions on where to find it?

What a great idea! Now, I"ve been searching for chargers, but the hard kind...this is a really good idea and so much cheaper than anything I can find online...for something so nice....would love to win one and then make more!

What a great charger; would I ever like to win that! I'm going for all the points I can, so here's my comment. BTW I made my first Dresden Plate block for a sampler quilt my bee made for a silent auction. It was in all pastels and ended up being the focal point of the quilt. There's just *something* about that pattern!

Thanks for doing this giveaway,Susanhttp://susanintexas.blogspot.comgentle_poster@charter.net

So glad a follower, Millie had you posted! It will take some time to get through your site. Here is a web site of mine that I sank heart and soul into, however yahoo will be shutting geocities down soon )=http://www.geocities.com/splashylanding/index.html

See what happens when you go away, you almost miss wonderful giveaways like your. I just love the charger and am heading over to MBS right now. I will then send you my e-mail. Thanks so much Kimberly for another great giveaway. You rock!

Thanks for your generous giveaway Kim. And I really LOVE this project. Will be buying a stack & Wack template this week so I can make the charger at least.

The fabrics are gorgeous and the "charger" such a wonderful design. How generous of you to have a tutorial AND a giveaway. You shall be receiving my email and I will add you to my sidebar blog list. It's always fun to visit busy and creative people!

I saw this on the Moda Bakeshop site and have already added it to my Christmas gift list for all my kids. (4 so I better get busy). They all are married with nice sets of dishes. I'm debating doing all plates but may end up with some table runners or accent pieces depending on how time consuming these are. I've had the desden template for years waiting for just the RIGHT project to come along!! LOL Thanks for the GREAT work! I love it; I can't tell you how excited I am to get started. :)
